Likelihood to Recommend Using the Brainstorm platform, we are able to provide employees with quick and instant training on pretty much everything Microsoft 365. The video training is perfect for the workforce: it's timely, precise, and very thorough. If we were to hire trainers to build and deliver all specific MS product training, it would not be cost-effective. The value of Brainstorm shines through from the aspects of productivity training. What is not much talked about is the time and cost savings associated with self-education. Users of the platform can uncover product use tips and tricks without contacting the company's help center or bothering to ask another co-worker for help. The Brainstorm platform provides courses that greatly improve the user's MS product line experience.
Read full review Good situation: when you have way too many tools hosting content, Spekit is great at bringing everything together so I don't need to remember where things are hosted. I just need to know ish how to search. Bad: I feel like it still doesn't help people discover content nearly as much. The nice thing about a
Confluence or other systems like that is that there are resources right in front of you, VS having to know what to search for. Also, I hate the extension, stop cluttering up Gmail.
Read full review Pros Brainstorm provides short bite-size training that is super easy to grasp The short e-learning modules are perfectly designed to get users engaged and learning. Customer service and monthly account check-ups are A+ level. Read full review Spekit is quick and easy to install and start using. Spekit's customer support is second to none. Spekit offers a lot of flexibility for users to customize for particular situations. Read full review Cons Monthly training content could be more varied or customized for the individual user experience. Maybe create a "software" finder that suggest tips and tricks to more advanced users. Advertise more of the "live moderated events Promote the "groups" function more by explaining how the group can benefit the user from peer experience Read full review Wish it was easier to insert hyperlinks. Wish changes could be made once and duplicated to related pages. Would be nice to rearrange Speks on a user level. Do not seem to be able to share specific Speks. Read full review Alternatives Considered Brainstorm is just a better enterprise training system compared to other MS-365 training applications on the market. BrainStorm QuickHelp includes reliability and ease of use already built into the system which is very user-friendly. Speaking of the training tools, they are formatted in a huge variety of deliverable media that the end user will feel comfortable with: PDF, video, live event, group learning forums, et. Learners can forge their own path and set up their own learning schedule on their own time. These customized paths can be perfectly tailored for each user's needs. Honestly, Brainstorm Quickhelp just makes it easy.
Read full review Spekit is fine, I just feel like it doesn't have the world's best upfront organizational tool. I like
Atlassian Confluence due to the ability to have pages and have an organized thought. That does take significantly more effort to keep it organized and up to date which everyone doesn't really want to have. On the flip side, Spekit does have a great search tool, which is a lot like other enterprise search tools, this one just happens to be used by the sales team. Overall, I'm a fan, except for their chrome extension - stop invading my space.
